  Case: Cell Phones
I am an intern in a high school EBD classroom. The students have great difficulty putting their cell phones away, and often ignore me the asked or take it right back out. We are not supposed to confiscate the phones. What should I do to get them to put their phones away?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I am an intern also, and I once was under the impression that teachers could not take away a students phone; but, I also noticed this semester that teachers do take away their phones if they do not cooperate by putting them away or are using them when not supposed to. I would create a special box on the desk that phones go into if the students to not cooperate and advise them that they cellphones will be handed back when they are on task or at the end of the class period.
